I. at the tobes of hades |
|
The tobes of hades |
|
Lit by flickering torchlight |
|
The netherworld is gathered in the glare |
|
Prince by-tor takes the cavern |
|
To the north light |
|
The sign of eth is rising in the air |
|
By-tor, knight of darkness, |
|
Centurion of evil |
|
Devil's prince |
|
Ii. across the styx |
|
Across the river styx |
|
Out of the lamplight |
|
His nemesis is waiting at the gate |
|
The snow dog, ermine glowing |
|
In the damp night |
|
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate |
|
By-tor and the snow dog |
|
Square for battle |
|
Let the fray begin |
|
Iii. of the battle |
|
Instrumental |
|
Iv. epilogue |
|
The battle's over |
|
And the dust is clearing |
|
Disciples of the snow dog sound the knell |
|
Rejoicing echoes |
|
As the dawn is nearing |
|
By-tor in defeat |
|
Retreats to hell |
|
Snow dog is victorious |
|
The land of the overworld |
|
Is saved again |
